Conversation

Did you hear about the new policy at work?

Yeah, I heard it's pretty strict and unappealable.

That seems unfair; we should be able to discuss our concerns.

I agree, but it looks like the decision is final and can't be changed.

Root Explanation

Unappealable → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "appealable" (from Latin "appellare", meaning to call upon or appeal). The word "unappealable" means not able to be appealed or challenged.
